I have my first PBeM Sealion '40 game - "Left Hook to London" underway and it is fun and highly addictive entertainment!
Commanding the Axis and it has been a wild ride!
Now, you do need to buy into the designers' preconditions - that the RAF was defeated in the Battle of Britain and the Royal Navy was either defeated or could be kept at bay - by Axis mining of the approaches to the English Channel. You also need to accept the premise that the Axis sealift and airlift had good-to-excellent capability.
I also believe that the Royal Navy or what was left of it, would have sortied toward the landing beaches even if it was a suicidal final act!
But, even taking all of the above into account, Sealion '40 utilizes the historical Axis plans and OOBs.
Note - Sealion '40 uses four Optional Rules as standard and Night Move Disruption = 0%. So, there you go!
Who says alt-history games can't be fun!
I highly recommend this game title!
